Gulf views

We were delighted to have such close proximity to the Gulf; the views and the sounds were wonderful. We spent a lot of time just relaxing on our balcony. The condo was a good base for our explorations in the area, including some great bird-watching. The unit was clean, well-equipped, and quiet. We would definitely recommend it to others.

A few nights

First of all we love this whole complex because of the views. The Bubbly Brew, was great in most ways, we found the lighting to be incredibly harsh and we used some of my shirts to create softer lighting, there was also an issue with the drawers in the kitchen , it seems the door jam is a little off and those drawers don’t actually open without some ingenuity.However we loved the balcony furniture and the view was fabulous. We will return again.

The ocean view was fantastic!

Small break with my family. This was my family first time together staying in the coast. We had a small budget, and this lovely place made possible. The room isn't the newest , but was cleaned, well decorate( very cute!), the kitchenette was perfect, well stock( with coffee, sugar varieties, pans, cups, ice tray....) But the best part was the view, amazing! Also super easy access to the beach(in a beautiful path). Also pool was super nice( not heated), my husband and daughter enjoyed their time on the pool.

Amazing Stay

The stay here was incredible. The room had plenty of space for myself and everything I needed to be able to enjoy my stay comfortably. I did slice my finger on a glass while cleaning it but the team was responsive and made sure I was okay. The view was also incredible and I will be staying back here again!

Nice but small. I was disappointed that there were no closets and the 'wonky' plumbing in the shower burned me a couple of times. View was very nice. Sound of the waves crashing was soothing.It was clean and the towels were big and soft.

Even better than we expected!

This little condo was such a great find! The location is truly beachfront and closer to the beach than it looks. The boardwalk to the beach is right next to the condo. The condo itself was updated, super clean and so cute and comfortable. The kitchen was extremely well supplied. On top of that, the communication from the SWAY management team was awesome and the check-in and out couldn’t have been any easier. We will definitely be back to stay here again!

Relaxing Blew Time

Stop reading all the reviews and book this property. Bubbly is super clean. The bath, kitchen and floors are spotless. The bedding and fluffy towels smell fresh. Bubbly is spacious for a studio. The kitchen is well supplied to cook breakfast/lunch. Why cook dinner on vacation? The patio is perfect for morning coffee, then happy hour with a spectacular view. The beach path is next to Bubbly's building and there is a sand rinse off hose/shower too. The condo complex has lots of grass and space to walk and enjoy. Plus, Bubbly is located on the second floor so you get a great quad workout as a bonus. Did I mention the view? It is a WOW moment.
